Dr Fabricio Goes

My research interest in Large Language Models applied to Computational Creativity. Due to my recent publications, I was recently invited to be interviewed on the Data Skeptic Podcast, the most popular data science podcast, the CBC Spark podcast and the restofworld.org tech news to talk about the use of LLMs to evaluate creativity. I've also recently been invited to be a reviewer in Nature Human Behaviour. I'm also a HEA and IEEE member.

I'm looking for PhD students with interests in the application of LLMs in the creative industries. Please, contact me if you are interested.
